Koegel Autism Consultants

Koegel Autism Consultants is a company based in Camarillo, California. The company employs 20 people and generates $50 million in annual revenue. Koegel Autism Consultants specializes in Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), a research-based intervention program designed for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). PRT is a naturalistic approach derived from Applied Behavior Analysis that focuses on key developmental areas such as motivation, responsiveness to cues, self-management, and self-initiation. The goal of PRT is to help children with ASD achieve a more typical developmental trajectory through individualized intervention objectives tailored to their specific needs. PRT incorporates specific research-based procedures, including child choice, task variation, interspersing maintenance and acquisition tasks, rewarding attempts, and the use of direct natural reinforcers. This approach aims to make the intervention highly effective and efficient. PRT is implemented in the child's natural environments, such as home, community, and school, emphasizing parent education to empower families as active participants in the intervention process.
